Why isn't America more regionalist? It's huge. It can't be all because of the civil war, can it?
TV and unified pop culture industry I guess?
Even still it's still pretty regionalist

Define regionalist?
>Deep South
>Miami/Puerto Rico
>Appalachia
>Chesapeake bay
>New england
>Tristate area
>Great Lakes/St. Lawrence
>Inland and delta of the Mississippi watershed
Moving further west it does get less and less regionalist, and its more dominated by single cities, i.e. Denver, Vegas, LA, etc. Northwest coast is pretty regional though, same goes for the central Californian cities.
>TV and unified pop culture industry I guess?
Pretty much this most of the world today has American pop culture digging into it you'd think ground zero would feel the blunt of it.
though obviously there's a big difference between for example New England and the Deep South

I mean, it has some regions, but definitely New York/California culture has seeped through regional cultures over recent years. It was more regionalist a hundred years ago.

1917 was 100 years ago and even then it was being standardized
now 200 years ago (1817) it was a lot more regional

But at that point, there were less people in general.
I'd say somewhere like 1880 might've had the most regions and the most regionalism.
